Big Dog Walkin’
About
Big Dog Walkin’ is a full-service pet care company in Brighton offering dog daycare, walks, overnight boarding, bathing and cat visits. Its guiding idea is socialization: daycare dogs get let-outs every two hours, neighborhood walks and playgroup trips to Hunnewell Park in Newton, a fully fenced off-leash dog park. Puppies can join free puppy playgroups in a safe, low-energy setting, and there is also a puppy daycare program built around positive routines.
The business began in 2012 with neighborhood dog walks from an apartment on Commonwealth Avenue and grew into a dedicated facility with 3,000 square feet of dog space. Floors are covered in rubberized gym matting to ease strain on joints, beds and blankets are on hand for rest, and the space is sanitized daily with water available all day and an outdoor potty area. Staff are trained, experienced handlers who are dog owners themselves.
